A powerful story of a girl who comes of
age during China’s Cultural Revolution
(1966-1969). Nine-year-old Ling leads
a happy life with her parents, both
dedicated doctors. Comrade Li, one of
Mao’s political officers, moves into their
apartment and creates an atmosphere
of increasing mistrust in which Ling
begins to fear for her family’s safety.
Over four years, and despite witnessing
many horrors, Ling not only survives,
but blooms.

The link to amnesty.org does not work. The ideas for classroom use on the other handout are good.
